If you have problems with the java applet, try
connecting via a telnet client. You can
find telnet clients at www.tucows.com.
There you can find clients for
Windows 95,
Windows 3.x,
Macintosh and
OS/2.
Unix has a build in telnet client. simply type
telnet rom.mud.de 4000.
If you have downloaded a client, either register it to netscape (or IE) and
click here, or start it and open a
connection to the server rom.mud.de on port 4000.
Introduction
JMud is a Java Applet for connecting to the Realm of Magic. It is based on the Telnet Applet by Jugel/Meißner but has a few enhancements to improve gameplay. The input and output are completely separated, there is a command history and macros can be used.
Input
You can put your commands into the textfield at the bottom of the Applet. The input is sent to the mud once you hit enter.
You can seperate one or more commands by using the separator char ';', e.g.:
wake;stand;bkiss honkman
If you want to use the separator char as part of your command you have to quote it using the backslash '\', e.g.:
gossip \;)
A speedwalk can be started with a '.'. Speedwalks are interpreted as one command, thus you can even separate speedwalks, doing things in between. Imagine you are standing in the Moonglow Temple and become hungry or thirsty. Then you can go to the Center Place, have a milk there and return just by typing:
.swww;drink milk;.eeen
The textfield is cleared after every command-sequence you sent to the mud. If you want to keep your input just click on the Clear Input box at the top of the Applet to deselect this option (the option can be toggled by clicking). Thus your input will be kept. You can just hit enter to repeat the command or type a new one. If you start to type a new one, the textfield will be cleared.
By default your input is echoed to the output panel. If this is annoying to you, you can turn the echo off by clicking the Echo Input box at the top of the Applet to deselect this option (the option can be toggled by clicking).
History
Your last 30 commands are stored in the command history. You can access this history using the cursor up and cursor down keys. Cursor up moves upwards to the oldest command and cursor down back to the last command or even a new one. If you repeat a command several times without entering another in between, it is stored only once in the history.
Macros
You can define and use 10 macros. Just click on the macros button at the top of the Applet. A new window will appear. There you can assign commands to the function keys F1 to F10 by simply typing them in the apropiate textfields. Click OK to store these settings. Now you can either click the macro buttons on the right of the Applet or press the function key itself to send the assigned command-sequence to the mud.
Enjoy!
